Thank you for your response...

We run multiple servers for our application.

We have a configuration as follows:
        1. Portal ... running tomcat 7.0_45 and java 7... this is the outward 
facing running jetspeed.  This is the server throwing the errors
        2. Tomcat ... running tomcat 7.0_45 and java 7... this is our back-end 
business logic server
        3. Mule .. enterprise service bus broker ... no tomcat running java 7
        4. AiM .. our ERP software from a third party  ... runing tomcat_9 and 
java 11

We cannot upgrade Java at this point, because of an old third party application 
running on the portal.  It requires Java 7.  
We are currently exploring new packages to replace it, but this will take some 
time to finalize.

I've attached the catalina log showing the error.  The error appears on startup 
of Tomcat.

I tried to replace the annotation_api.jar with a newer version, somewhere on 
the web, it was posted that replacing this jar file with a new version solved 
his problem; which was simular to mine.

You'll need at least 7.0.88 for Java 11 support.

That is what I would recommend (or latest 8.5.x / 9.0.x but that is probably 
changing too much in one go).

You are going to have to try this again. Can I suggest you post the first error 
you see here and we can try and talk you through fixing it.

Why do that?
